A parent and child's nightmare coming to a reality in a Greenville County neighborhood.

According to residents at Fleetwood Manor Apartments, a person dressed as a clown is trying to 'lure kids into the woods'.

In response to the reports, the apartment sent out a letter reminding residents to keep their kids safe by not walking alone in the woods at night.

As explained in the letter, Greenville County law enforcement are conducting daily patrols of the neighborhood because of the reports.

Comment: A New York Times article confirms reports that residents of Greenville, SC have reported to police sightings of clowns around neighborhoods. Earlier this month, residents of Green Bay, WI also reported seeing a clown walking around the city carrying black balloons, but without engaging any person. That turned out to be a stunt to promote a short movie.
